Summary: Outdated before it even hit the shelves
Review: Cisco no longer uses, nor do they recommend CSPM (Cisco Secure Policy Manager). Therefore, 60% of this book is irrelivant information. I wasted $60 on this book, only to find out later, that it was outdated.

Summary: Good book to prepare for the Cisco Specialization Exam!
Review: I love this book! Why? I just passed the exam (9E0-572 IDSPM) by using this book as a main resource. Excellent and detail description of the Cisco IDS product with Policy Manager.
There's also Planned Cisco IDS Enhancement included in the book.
Another great book by Cisco Press!

Summary: Though most are on Cisco web site, still a good book.
Review: Informative to Cisco IDS. Especially spent large portion to talk about configuring CSPM with IDS. However, that might seem duplicated to the Cisco official configuration guide. Signatures are a waste too as NSDB already contains very descriptive info. Not much details on Director.
A few days to set for the IDSPM exam, just see if everything is covered on the book.

Summary: Excellent Reference for CiscoSecure IDS
Review: Its a direct portal from Cisco's CSIDS class. If you have the class materials, then you do not need this book. Otherwise, its the only book out there by Cisco, on CiscoSecure IDS (formerly Netranger) product line.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent Learning Tool and Constant Reference Guide.
Review: This book is one of the most well written I've seen from Cisco Press. It covers all area of the Cisco Secure IDS System without being too Wordy. Chapter 10 contains a complete listing of all Signatures (at print time) that the CSIDS system can detect making this an excellent Reference book. Keep this on your shelf and close by!!! Kudo's to Earl Carter for the excellent job in Editing!!!

Summary: A good introduction
Review: This book is really easy to read and It contain a good introduction to the IDS philosophy/world. Did i say introduction? yeah.. because it doesn't go really deep
in IDS deployment procedures and the author seems to forget Director for HP Openview. The part were it show the signatures is a lost of paper, because
we can access the online database. But in general it is a good book, a great introduction. The product is limited itself so we have to expect limited explanation in the book too.
